Purpose: Cochlear implants (CI) are the most successful bioprosthesis in medicine probably due to the tonotopic anatomy of the auditory pathway and of course the brain plasticity. Correct placement of the CI arrays, respecting the inner ear anatomy are therefore important. The ideal trajectory to insert a cochlear implant array is defined by an entrance through the round window membrane and continues as long as possible parallel to the basal turn of the cochlea.

The foramen spinosum, one of the important openings at the base of the cranium, is the opening through which the middle meningeal artery enters the cranium. The variations of the foramen spinosum should be well known to be an important landmark in middle fossa surgeries and to understand better the clinical conditions related to the middle meningeal artery passing through it. A total of 35 bones (32 cranial base and 3 separate sphenoid bones) of individuals of unknown age, sex, and ethnicity in the Laboratory of the Department of Anatomy, Gaziantep University, Faculty of Medicine were examined bilaterally in this study.

Introduction: Sella turcica is an important anatomic formation that contains the pituitary gland and is in a close neighborhood with many vital structures. It is important to know the morphometry of the sella turcica, as it is a transition point during surgical interventions such as the endoscopic endonasal transsphenoidal approach to the region. The findings obtained are thought to be useful in the examination of sella turcica and surrounding structures and will contribute to the literature by knowing the morphometry of the region for the surgical method.
